Let me post the Theory11 thing from Facebook including their motivations:

It's $5 - and if you plan to use the idea, then that's a very small price to pay. I spent more this morning at Starbucks!

I especially find the "but you specifically wrote that you were going to perform the effect *without* purchasing it" kind of strange because that is absolutely nowhere to be read.

But yeah, on a more serious note, I think they are right about being mindful of the creator, sure. That they think buying the effect is part of that goes right over my head though, especially when realizing they are the ones making money with it themselves. Let them give 95+% profit to the creators first before making such statements.
